Recorded video too dark

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am using OBS to record some missions but the image of recorded videos is like its having a dark layer on top of it. I already tried the most tips from YT, I turned off HDR (at least it say its turned off, maybe there are other ways to turn it off?) and I turned off all post process options from Arma 3 Options. I am a noob in video recording and have no clue what is wrong ...

Here some tech info about how I am recording: 

-------------------------------------
Encoder settings
Rate Control: CBR
Bitrate: 20000 Kbps
Keyframe interval: 2s 
Preset: P5: Slow Good Quality
Tuning: High Quality
Multipass mode: Two Passes (Quarter Resolution)
Profile: high
Look Ahead: ON

Psycho Visual Tuning: ON 
GPU: 0

Max B Frames: 2 

-----------------------------------------

This is what my friend recommended, he has more knowledge about video recordings. 
Quick test with other game (Valheim) showed not problem with brightness. The culprit is Arma 3 ...  😪

Hi, You can setup a filter for OBS and set the lighting, quality ect,. there via a filter.

 

Do this:

Startup OBS

go to scenes and then sources (bottom left ) and then click on the scene you setup for capturing the game,

then click on filters above that.

Create a effects filter and setup a color corrections filter and then adjust your sliders accordingly.

 

What are your computer specs btw?

Bitrate: 20000 Kbps is a bit low for quality, mine is at 60,000

 

are you using the NVIDIA NVENC H.264 encoder?

Yes. I am trying the Filters options. Will report back. 
I see you use Game Capture, not the whole screen. 
UPDATE
I solved my issue, just used Game Capture as Source, without any filters. Thanks @Gunter Severloh

Yup, once ingame that little window in OBS will be the whole game as you know, you

can also setup a source too for desktop to record whatever there.

Glad you got it figured out! Cheers!
